What makes this fairly typical motorsailer special is the fact she was designed and built with maximum performance in mind. She is of a size where aluminum is a logical construction material. In her design wood and aluminum were compared and aluminum was selected due to the potential weight savings. Her twin centerboards provide her crew with a lot of flexibility in terms of sail combinations/sailing balance.

In addition she was built by the famed Abeking & Rasmussen Shipyard of Germany. Rewa was launched in 1968. She is also currently on the market. Click here to see the listing (and quite a few interior images).

Special Note About the Indexes (Above):All boats are listed by LOA, Design Number and Boat Name and are an active hyperlink to the primary article about that particular boat that usually includes the principal plans and dimensions when available. That does not mean that is the only article about the boat within these pages. For popular designs there may be numerous postings. For Dorade for example there are 8 different postings about her thus far. If you are interested in a particular design please use the SEARCH feature to do further research. The indexes only include boats that have been posted on this blog and do not represent our entire collection. More boats are added on a continual basis. Other subjects are posted as well and do not appear in the indexes.
